"Qinghe why you came to see your teacher suddenly today Is something the matter?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"It's nothing important Teacher and i've just recently succeeded in becoming crown prince so I came to express my gratitude Thanks to your guidance Teacher that Qinghe has achieved what he has today," Xue Qinghe replied politely.
"You don't have to say that and this is all due to your own hard work." Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. Though he originally accepted Xue Qinghe as a disciple for the benefit of relations with the heaven dou royal family he was now quite pleased Not only was Qinghe talented in cultivation but he also had excellent political insight and now with the other two outstanding princes of the Tiandou Empire suddenly dying and the fourth prince Xue Beng who is known as a playboy it seemed that barring any mishap Xue Qinghe was set to be the next emperor.
"There's one more matter I wanted to discuss to Teacher Recently the Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan sent their youngest disciple Yu Tianheng to study at heaven dou Royal Academy What do you think of this?" Xue Qinghe asked as if in passing
Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised by the question and not expecting Xue Qinghe to bring up such a sensitive topic The relationship between sects and the empire was not something easily clarified in a few words but Still this inquiry reflected Xue Qinghe's trust in Ning Fengzhi.
"The Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan is clearly sending a message" Ning Fengzhi said "Among the three upper sects our seven treasure glazed tile clan has always supported the heaven dou Empire and while the Haotian Sect leans vaguely towards the Star Luo Empire The Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan has typically remained neutral but it seems now they may be choosing a side"
"So you're saying the Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan might intend to support heaven dou? But Yet with the Star Luo Empire's superior military and royal power wouldn't it make more sense for them to side with Star Luo?" Xue Qinghe asked sounding either genuinely confused or merely feigning ignorance.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "You're mistaken Qinghe Remember this by providing help when needed is far more valuable than merely adding to one's abundance For the Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan supporting heaven dou is their best choice and Not only does they earn the Emperor's favor but it also maintains a balance of power between the two empires preventing the Star Luo family from becoming too dominant after all Chaos breeds opportunity and that's ideal for their survival."
Xue Qinghe nodded absorbing Ning Fengzhi's insight Jun Tianlin also agreed with Ning Fengzhi's analysis but believed there was a third factor at play the spirit hall clan head Yu Yuanzhen must have realized that the spirit hall was becoming dangerously powerful and feared they might someday move against the Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan and With only Yu Yuanzhen as their Titled Douluo they would be no match for the spirit hall so they plan to sought protection from both empires.
After listening Xue Qinghe clasped his hands together in respect "Thank you for your guidance Teacher But aren't you worried that the Blue Lightning tyrant dragon clan might replace the seven treasure glazed tile clan in my father's esteem? I heard Yu Tianheng fought with disciples from the seven treasure glazed tile clan on his first day at the academy and won handily It seemed like they were flaunting their strength"
As a sect allied with the heaven dou Empire the seven treasure glazed tile clan naturally sent some disciples to heaven dou Royal Academy to strengthen ties and among them were Gu Ran and others who had previously sparred with Jun Tianlin.
"Humph! That old dragon has some nerve thinking he can replace our seven treasure glazed tile clan," Bone Douluo growled slapping his chair in frustration He was especially irritated as his own disciple Gu Ran had been defeated Gu Ran and Yu Tianheng were both twelve years old yet while Gu Ran had reached only level 23 Yu Tianheng was already at level 26 With superior innate soul power and martial spirit quality Gu Ran was naturally outmatched.
"The Blue Lightning tyrant dragon naturally possesses the strongest beast spirit in the world," Chen Xin remarked "and old Bones there's no use in venting your anger on your chair You know Yu Tianheng and his cousin Yu Tianxin the twins of this generation are exceptional It's true that the younger disciples of our seven treasure glazed tile clan can't compete with them."
Gu Rong looked ready to argue but Xue Qinghe interjected "Sword Douluo xin I think you're being too quick to judge This disciple of yours seems far more impressive than those two brothers so I have a suggestion Why not let Junior Brother Tianlin enroll in heaven dou Royal Academy? And With his talent it's only a matter of time before he surpasses Yu Tianheng which would enhance the prestige of the seven treasure glazed tile clan."
Jun Tianlin frowned 'Good grief so this is what Qian Renxue was aiming for She's not interested in the reputation of the seven treasure glazed tile clan Her words sound better than what the intention is!'
Ning Fengzhi considered the proposal rubbing his chin thoughtfully He saw this as an opportunity and he imagined that Xue Qinghe valued Jun Tianlin's potential and wanted to forge a strong bond with him It reminded him of his own close ties with the current Emperor Xue Ye and the former crown prince.
In Ning Fengzhi's eyes Jun Tianlin was destined to become a key protector of the clan and a connection with the future emperor could only benefit the seven treasure glazed tile clan
Seeing the clan head's expression Jun Tianlin began to worry and he knew Xue Qinghe's true intentions weren't to strengthen ties between the heaven dou Empire and the seven treasure glazed tile clan. As a Holy Maiden of the spirit hall that had ambitions to unite the continent she aimed to weaken the empire and the sect and In truth her real interest was probably Jun Tianlin himself.
Jun Tianlin wanted to speak up to decline the offer when suddenly Chen Xin seemingly on a whim agreed on behalf of Ning Fengzhi "I think it's a good idea for Jun Tianlin to train his character there The Royal Academy would be a fine place for him to experience luxury and temptation"
Chen Xin looked at Jun Tianlin "and as a swordsman you must learn to resist all forms of indulgence so Prince Qinghe i entrust my disciple to your care and If he becomes even slightly corrupt send word and I'll come to discipline him personally!"
"Well Uncle sword is Jun Tianlin's master and now that he's decided I can't object so Jun Tianlin you'll have to leave for the academy tomorrow" Ning Fengzhi said seemingly resigned to let events unfold.
Jun Tianlin felt a sense of dread 'Master Uncle Ning you're sending me into the lion's den!' he thought knowing that this was exactly what Xue Qinghe or rather what Qian Renxue wanted.
Xue Qinghe was visibly pleased she had succeeded in securing this god-level martial spirit holder under her supervision "Teacher rest assured and Sword Douluo i'll take good care of Junior Brother Tianlin," she said with satisfaction.
"Wait I don't agree! I don't want Brother sword to leave!" Ning Rongrong objected suddenly Jun Tianlin's care for her hadn't gone unnoticed and now she wanted to help him in his time of need.
Unfortunately she like Jun Tianlin had little sway in the matter As the saying goes "the voice of the weak is easily dismissed" With the three highest-ranking clan members in agreement her objection held no weight.
